  • observing that the Bankruptcy Court is accorded \wide latitude\ to \balance the equities when granting relief from the automatic stay\
  • noting that the bankruptcy court is accorded “wide latitude . . . to balance the equities when granting relief from the automatic stay”
  • affirming that bankruptcy court did not abuse its discretion in concluding that debtor’s dilatory tactics and prejudice to the creditor outweighed the creditor’s unclean hands in violating the stay
  • noting that “[e]ven those cases that have subscribed to a narrow conception of the power to retroactively annul the stay have affirmed that balancing the equities is the appropriate test”
